During his residency at Frascati Producties, Reza MIrabi is working on a new project tentatively titled A Very Last Song. On Saturday, November 2, the work will be presented to the public. 

The piece begins with a video of a singing bird, the last of its kind. This bird sings for a mate that will never come.

In A Very Last Song, the 12th-century poetry Mantiq ut-Tayr by Attar of Nishapur and the stories of birdwatchers Mandy and Lara Sirdah in Gaza are central, alongside the ornithologist Nadeem Shehzad from New Delhi. Through the language of birds, A Very Last Song explores personal, ecological, and socio-political stories.

About Reza Mirabi

Choreographer, visual artist, and storyteller Reza Mirabi is an artist whose work spans ecological and socio-political projects in Europe and the SWANA region. With a Fine Arts degree from the University of Mumbai (2012) and an MA in Choreography from DAS Choreography, Amsterdam (2021), his practice is rooted in the belief that every place, being, and material inherently tells a story.

Reza seeks different forms of listening as a way to engage in conversations with the (im)mediate world—verbal and non-verbal, embodied and cosmic—to weave us into more-than-human narratives. Amidst today’s unbearable political, social, ecological, and psychological collapse, Reza seeks ways and moments to remind each other of the imaginary.
